Ingredients

  • 10-12 Italian plums pits removed, and cut into quarters
  • 2 Oranges
  • 1-2 Tablespoon Honey or maple syrup
  • 1 tbsp Freshly grated ginger
  • ½ Teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ½ Teaspoon Cardamom
  • Pinch Kosher Salt

Instructions

  • Place the juice of the oranges, grated ginger, honey or maple syrup, cinnamon, cardamom and salt in a skillet over medium heat. Gently simmer, stirring to dissolve the cinnamon and cardamom into the liquid, about 3-5 minutes.
  • Add the plums and simmer for another 5-7 minutes, or until the plums are tender, but still maintain their shape and the liquid has reduced to a slightly syrupy consistency.
    Note: If the liquid is too watery, remove the plums with a slotted spoon and continue to simmer the liquid until it reduces to a slightly syrupy texture, then pour over plums.
  • Allow the compote to cool to room temperature before transferring to an airtight container.
